What’s New?
We’ve expanded our Orderful EDI capabilities with four new transaction types that directly address common merchant pain points:
- Automated ASN Creation:
Our system now automatically generates Advance Ship Notices (ASNs), ensuring that key shipment details are accurately captured without manual input. - Instant ASN Receipts:
As soon as an ASN is created, receipts are sent directly to your team and/or trading partner, keeping everyone updated in real-time. - Effortless Order Creation:
Orders are now automatically created in our system, eliminating the need for tedious manual data entry. - Fulfillment Confirmation:
Once shipping labels are generated, fulfillment is confirmed instantly ensuring a smooth and error-free transition from order to shipment.
